Chelsea have received a timely boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain, as defender Levi Colwill has returned to first-team training after a lengthy injury layoff.
The 22-year-old centre-back was spotted training with the squad at Cobham on Tuesday while the team prepared for the upcoming European tie. Colwill has been sidelined for months after suffering a serious knee injury during pre-season, which required surgery and kept him out for most of the 2025/26 campaign.
During his absence, Chelsea had to rely on defensive rotations, with several players stepping into central defence as injuries disrupted the squad. Colwill’s presence not only strengthens the defensive line but also improves Chelsea’s build-up play, an area where his left-footed passing range offers balance and control from the back.
The return of Colwill to training is seen as a major defensive boost for Chelsea, whose back line has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in recent weeks. According to reports it is expected that Liam Rosenior will manage the England international’s minutes as he completes the final stages of his recovery.
However it is uncertain whether Colwill will feature against PSG immediately, his presence around the squad has lifted morale as the Blues prepare for one of their biggest matches of the season in the Champions League.
